The chart shows pricing and payment options for two large items. why would a consumer choose to pay cash? to pay the lowest possible price to take advantage of low interest to spread payments out over time to avoid saving for a down payment

The Answer would be A, To pay the lowest possible price.

Whenever an item is purchased, the best option is to purchase it on cash. If you have the cash in hand, then going for other options would not be a wise decision as they may involve more money. Like for instance, if a person chooses to pay on installments then he will give higher price for the purchase of same item, because he is paying in installments so he will pay a slightly higher price for taking more time to pay the money for the item.

So if a person chooses to purchase on cash, that would be the wisest option.
